What does Simon Cowell think about ‘American Idol’ reject William Hung — gaining fame for his version of Ricky Martin’s ‘She Bangs’—who’s been offered a $25,000 record contract by Fuse Music Television? “Why would you give him $25,000 to sing,” Simon asked ‘Extra’. “I’d give him $25,000 to shut up.” He added, “We shouldn’t really be celebrating that there’s bad singers. Now we have to worry about people coming in and trying to be bad.”
